Russian-born and US-based artist Zaritza has released her single “Shadows” with English subtitles and a new music video that will captivate you from the first listen. This haunting track is a great mix of dark atmospheres, rich melodies and poignant lyrics that are a reflection of her deeply personal battles with anxiety and doubt. The language of the song, sung in her native Russian lends an intimate depth to the raw emotion of the song.
Zaritza has a unique and powerful voice and her performance made me have to rewind the song over and over again. The production here is polished and creative and the mixing and mastering are perfect. The dark and brooding melodies paired with shadowy visuals create a great experience that pulls listeners into her internal struggles. Through the lyrics, Zaritza tackles mental health issues with honesty, using the song as both a personal catharsis and a beacon of awareness for others.
This song is a masterpiece and will leave you stuck on constant repeat for a long time. The haunting atmosphere and Zaritza’s bold expression make this track unforgettable. I can’t wait to see how her journey continues and what she’ll share with us next.
